When Elon Musk ordered a government-wide email blast directing federal employees to list their recent accomplishments,
most senior officials paused to consider their options.

In the Justice Department, US attorneys around the country discussed the matter over an email list they share,
with many deciding to seek more guidance before instructing career prosecutors on how to respond.
One questioned whether the email was even real.
But #Ed #Martin, an acolyte of Donald Trump named interim US attorney for the District of Columbia, charged ahead.
“It’s legit and we’ve already replied,” he told his fellow US attorneys. “Great leadership.”

Just 33 minutes after the Office of Personnel Management directive hit inboxes,
Martin urged lawyers under him to comply,
though he suggested they respond carefully.

“DOGE and Elon are doing great work!” Martin wrote in one of his frequent communiques to hundreds of assistant US attorneys and support staff.

“We are happy to be participate.”

Martin has announced investigations into his own staff for their role in January 6 cases
and has volunteered to support Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Orwellian “Weaponization Working Group,”
which purports to take aim at abuses of the justice system during the Biden administration.

Martin has threatened former special counsel Jack Smith and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
and has used X to indicate plans to investigate administration critics.

He has even tried to leverage a dubious criminal probe to seize climate grant money awarded by the Biden administration.

Hey men who enjoy sex! MASK UP TO KEEP IT UP! :mastorespirator: 🍆

If taking a soccer ball ⚽ to the crotch had 1/5 odds of long term erectile dysfunction (ED) would you wear a cup when you play soccer?

nature.com/articles/s41598-025

20% of men in this study got NEW ED - and only 1/4 "got their mojo back" after two years.

NaturePrevalence of erectile dysfunction as long-COVID symptom in hospitalized Japanese patients - Scientific ReportsCoronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a wide range of post-acute sequelae. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) that developed after COVID-19 and the associated underlying factors were analyzed based on a questionnaire survey, COVID-19 Recovery Study II in Japan. A case–control study was conducted with those with or without ED one and two years hospitalized with COVID-19 between March and September 2021. Six hundred and nine Japanese men, with a median age of 48 years, were analyzed. During the study period, 116 subjects (19.0%) had erectile dysfunction. The patients with ED responded with less subjective awareness of recovery and high breathless and fatigue scores compared to those without ED. The patients with ED also showed higher Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-D (depression) and the EuroQol 5-dimensions 5-level scores for pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression scores compared before COVID-19 infection. Sleep disturbance was suggested to be associated with erectile dysfunction using an exploratory clustering analysis in the one-year survey. There were no associations of COVID-19 severity, reinfection, vaccination frequency, antiviral treatment for COVID-19 with the presence of erectile dysfunction. It was considered that mental support for the subject with erectile dysfunction as a long-COVID symptom is warranted.

"Per person familiar, "reduction in force" notices for the Education Department are expected to go out today at 6pm.

Nearly half of the department is expected to be🚨eliminated.

This obviously comes as Education Department staffers have been told to vacate the premises by 6pm today, and that offices will be closed tomorrow."

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are asking the District of Columbia’s bar association to investigate #Ed #Martin, the interim U.S. attorney in the capital, saying that he had “abused” prosecutorial power to threaten his political opponents.

In a letter to the bar association on Thursday, the senators, led by Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the committee’s top Democrat, also accused Mr. Martin of violating professional standards by refusing to recuse himself from a case involving a Capitol rioter he privately represented and dismissing charges against the man.

Martin, a Missouri Republican who has used social media to threaten critics of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, has upended one of the most important U.S. attorney’s offices in the country.
He has purged nonpolitical career staff involved in the investigations of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and at times directly interceded in prosecutorial decision-making.

Outcry as DC US attorney claims he and colleagues are ‘President Trump’s lawyers’

The interim US attorney for Washington DC #Ed #Martin has explicitly declared himself and other federal attorneys to be
❌the president’s lawyers
-- rather than an independent, law-abiding officer sworn to uphold the constitution.
“As President Trumps’ [sic] lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect his leadership as our President and we are vigilant in standing against entities like the AP that refuse to put America first,” the US attorney’s office posted in a image on X, signed by Martin.

The statement directly contradicts the federal oath of office Martin swore, which requires attorneys to ❇️“conduct myself uprightly and according to law” and
❇️“support the constitution of the United States” – with no mention of personal loyalty to any president.

This post follows a pattern of controversial actions by Martin,
who recently promised the billionaire #Elon #Musk he would ❌“pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work” related to Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency”.
Without filing any charges, Martin claimed his office had evidence people “committed acts that appear to violate the law” against Musk’s initiative.

👍Some congressional Democrats immediately condemned Martin’s statement.

The Florida congressman
👏#Maxwell #Frost called for Martin’s resignation,
writing: “US attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers.”

The Virginia congressman
💪🏽#Don #Beyer posted: “Washingtonians deserve federal law enforcement who will protect their rights
--without violating the constitution, and focus on fighting crime rather than trying to censor the free press and political opponents. Basic understanding of punctuation would be nice, also.”

The justice department has historically maintained independence from White House influence to ensure equal application of the law.

♦️Martin’s office did not respond to a request for comment on how his declaration aligns with this tradition or his sworn constitutional duties.
